Trouble with these deals is that Willock and Nelson will see this

as a step down. They don't *want* to come here. They're not targets we've identified and sold a vision to.

Down with this sort of thing.

They can jolly well wait until the end of the season I say... (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 10:41:28
- i would expect Getafe have sell on clause too (NCFC) - pab, Jan 4, 14:24:46
- No need to sell (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Jan 4, 13:22:42
  - Plus I suspect their contracts have pretty big promotion bonuses in them. (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 4, 13:49:58
- £40m plus Willock would ordinarily be good business (NCFC) - ingi, Jan 4, 13:02:08
- £40m plus a decent player may be ok (NCFC) - Kar1, Jan 4, 12:01:20
- only if we can pick the player (n/m) (NCFC) - revsimon, Jan 4, 11:46:06
- Trouble with these deals is that Willock and Nelson will see this (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 4, 10:42:35
  - VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - helvegtheowl, Jan 4, 13:56:40
  - As long as Emi or his agent don't demand a move this window, I can't see him going yet (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 4, 11:14:09
    - That's the risk, intut (NCFC) - Old Git, Jan 4, 11:19:00
      - i'd be wary of taking a player plus cash (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 4, 12:52:46
      - Emi has massively improved since his dropping by Farke (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:21:03
      - Could we in theory just refuse to sell for any price until the end of the season? (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:20:54
        
        We can, and I'm sure conversations have been had with Emi (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 4, 11:24:32
        
        Yes, deffo (NCFC) - Old Git, Jan 4, 11:23:45
        
        In an odd way, his sulkiness is also part of his charm. :) (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:30:08
        
        Yes, I believe he signed a 5 year deal prior to last season. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:21:59
        
        I suppose then the risk you have an angry player. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:23:16
        
        Yep. And then he gets dropped like last time (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:26:32
  - Spot on (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Jan 4, 11:12:36
  - I can't see us selling him this window (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 4, 11:07:40
    - Just feels like Arsenal may be desperate enough to pay £50+ (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:19:25
      - They won't pay that in January. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 4, 11:40:21
      - I don't think so - £50m is a huge sum of money (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 4, 11:26:22
        
        Arsenal are a buying club. They spent £70m on Xhaka and Mustafi (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:32:57
        
        £50m would make him their third most expensive player ever (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 4, 11:36:19
        
        Don't bet against it in the cl8se season when they've off loaded some of the deadwood, (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 4, 11:51:03
        
        Guess they'll have to go rooting through the euro leagues (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:45:26
      - I doubt they'll feel able to spend that kind of money in January (NCFC) - jampersands, Jan 4, 11:26:14
        
        They need to sell to buy - have loads of dead wood to shift (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 4, 11:28:22
        
        Then they won't get him in my opinion! They certainly shouldn't. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:34:09
        
        On their fan page, they all seem to want Grealish. Can't see that happening either. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:39:10
  - Agree but take Nelson on loan for the rest of the season to fill the wing we're missing (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 10:46:50
